I have 50+ extra 2.5" 500 gb sata 2 hard drives laying around not being used. I've already jammed 16 of them into my gateway toaster in raid 10. Any ideas on what to do with the rest of them?

Bring them to recycle and do your part in saving the planet.

I have these because I used to work at an electronics recycling facility and they were getting scrapped. They came out of a pallet of brand new DVRs that had a manufacturing problem.

Clearly you need one of these, so you can make some 12TB storage drawers

Ebay them then and buy some shit you actually need.

If they work perfectly, sell them on Gumtree/Craigslist, and give the proceeds to a charity.
If they happen to be Western Digitals, there's a good chance you can flash them into Xbox 360 hard disks. If you do, make sure you image them off a real one, so's the backwards compatibility partition isn't shagged.
Shit if you were selling cheap enough id buy a chunk of them.

I'm leaning towards this if I can do some shopping around and find a used or reasonably priced one. These drives look like they're going for around $25-$30 a piece on ebay at the moment. So I wouldn't want to overdo it with a rack if I could get a comparable setup with newer tech for a similar price.
